Short description of error
EEVEE Next crashes on Metal when performing final image render. The reason is that the hair and curves buffers
will be updated when retrieving the cache (see #112425), which assumes that it is always updated using a
compute shader, but the pass contains a transform feedback shader. This is both for curve and hair rendering.
Could also effect other engines, but I was not able to reproduce. They might retrieve the hair/curve pass in a different way.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
This can also be emulated by changing the
drw_hair_shader_type_get/drw_curves_shader_type_getfunction.Have a fix for this ready. It appears to be caused by the disconnect in use cases where hair refine uses compute vs transform feedback. Metal was still opting in to using transform feedback, as this generally out-performed compute, however, due to the diverging implementations, will instead look into optimizing the compute-based refinement solution and only using this one.
